Mustard based BBQ is the best, and it's found at Shealy's BBQ in Leesville SC.

It's been said that BBQ in the South is like cheese in France, you travel 5 miles and it is different...

"Here in what’s known as the Barbecue Belt — North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas — the meat of choice is pork."

I think they forgot Texas. The best BBQ I've ever eaten was in Texas. It was beef brisket, Mesquite cooked with a mustard based sauce. Hmmmmm

Horse hockey. Vinegar and pepper flakes. If you are going to slather sauce all over it, you can just omit the meat.

Stanton's fly-in airstrip restaraunt in South Carolina is the best. Remember the USAIR 737 that crashed at Charlotte Int'l in 96? The last conversation on the cockpit voice recorder was a heated debate over BBQ ingredients!

While I enjoy brisket, I cannot consider it BBQ. I think it is written in Leviticus that only pork can be called BBQ....

Brisket isn't BBQ, it's roast beef.

I was introduced to barbeque in Spartanburg, SC in 1969. We were moving from New Jersey to Mobile, AL.

Our host in Spartanburg told us we'd be having barbeque for dinner. This kid from Jersey figured he'd be lighting the grille...

Nope. We got in the car and headed to... I wish I could remember the name of the place.

We opened the containers and started spooning it on soft hamburger buns. It was this stringy looking meat in a red sauce.

It was delicious.

We moved back to New Jersey in '71, and I didn't get to enjoy this culinary delight 'til I visited my uncle in Lakeland, FL many years later when we went to "Jimbos."

Barbeque is one of the last truly regional foods. Excellent barbeque is available only below the Mason-Dixon Line.

Of course, the best pizza is only available in the New York Metro area...

The yankees reading this headline think it's about throwing some steaks on the grille.

lol! Peter makes my point. Glad some of you have been properly educated.

[TroutStalker]

The author is obviously ignorant. No article about BBQ is complete without mentioning Kansas City. Johnney's in Mission is some of the best.

[Peter W. Kessler]

Keep in mind, though, that pizza is not a matzoh with ketchup and Velveeta.

Ever have Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese on a hard roll?

***Strictly a northeast gastronomical delight***

(A hard roll is not a three day-old hamburger bun.)

Mustard is only fit for hot dogs & sausage biscuits.

[aomagrat]

LOL!!!

[Constitution Day]

HA!!

Vinegar & pepper trounces all mere impostors!

Aomagrat, you are welcome to visit eastern North Carolina and re-educate yourself on proper barbecue at one or more of the following locations:
Cherry's BBQ - Wilson, NC
Parker's BBQ - Wilson & Greenville, NC
"B's" Barbecue - Greenville, NC
Bob Melton's BBQ - Rocky Mount, NC

You can thank me later.

Mustard is only fit for hot dogs & sausage biscuits.

And ketchup is for french fries, and vinegar and pepper is for salads.

I am not normally one to praise anything Texan but they do an excellent brisket down there. Yes its beef, yes its brisket, yes its BBQ.

If you enjoy fireworks, just say the word “barbecue” in a crowd of Southerners and sit back and enjoy the show.

You've discovered the defense I use when confronted with a bunch of southern guys talking about "yankees".

Just say barbecue and watch the fun.

Its like tossing a salmon into a bear pit. hehehe.
